SAVE THE BUTTONS.

An Excellent Plan for Making Collection
of These Useful Little Articles.
First of all, save the boot buttons and
glove buttons. Many persons whose
dress is otherwise unexceptionable fail
in proper attention to these most es-
sential points.
When a pair of boots is discarded,
cut off the buttons. In time there will
be quite a collection. If discolored,
they may be restored to their original
blackness by applications of ink or
shoe polish. Let these buttons be kept
in box which shall be accessible to the
whole family, or, better still, let each
member own one. Teach the children
to replace their missing boot buttons
and to do it promptly.
In like manner, when gloves are cast
aside, preserve the buttons. AS they
accumulate, keep them in box by
themselves, and never suffer missing
one to go unreplaced.
we Can lcSIlly IlOn eAPelieHCe Iudt
this plan of making collections Of boot
and glove buttons is an excellent one.
By means of it one need never be found

When in two comrades burst elate
And bade me come out coasting.
Though somewhat loath to leave my nar

That rose above the valley;

And II went with Sally.

We heard the crisp snow crinkle,
And silvery from each skyey street
We saw the starbeams twinkle.

Then, toward the Wales dim hollow,
Down. swiftly down We swept as fast
AS hares when hunters follow.
And while fair Sally to me chung

And silenced me completely.
Again we climbed the winding hill;
Again we downward darted:

HOW TO EAT WISELY.
Common-Sense Rules Which Should !
Given Faithful Trial

Common-sense Rules Which Should BE
Given Faithful Trial
As a universal rule in health, and
with very few exceptions in disease,
that is best to be eaten which the appe-
tite Graves or the taste relishes. Per-
sons rarely err in the quality of food
eaten; natures instincts are the wisest
regulators in this respect. The great
sources of mischief from eating are
three quantity, frequency, rapidity,
and from these come the horrible dys-
pepsia which make of human life a
burden, a torture, living death. By
eating fast, the stomach, like a bottle
being filled through funnel, is full
and overlooking before we know
it; but the most important rea-
son is, the food is swallowed be-
fore time has been allowed to divide it
into sufficiently small pieces with the
teeth; for, like ice in tumbler OF water,
the smaller the bits are the sooner are
they dissolved. It has been seen with
the naked eye that if solid food is cut
up in pieces small as half a pea, it
digests almost as soon, without being
chewed at all, as if it had been well
masticated. The best plan, there
fore, is for all persons to thus COM
minute their food; for even if it is well
chewed the communion is no injury,
while it is of very great Importance in
case of hurry, forgetfulness, or bad
teeth. Cheerful conversation pre-.
vents rapid eating. It requires
about five hours for a common
meal to dissolve and pass out Of the
stomach, during which time this organ
is necessarily at work, when it must
have repose, as any other muscle, or
set of muscles, after such length OF
effort. Hence persons should not eat
within five-hour's interval. The heart
itself is at rest more than one-third OF
the time. The brain perishes without
repose. Never force food on the
stomach. All are tired when night
comes. Every muscle of the body is
weary and looks to the bed; but just as
we lie down to rest every other part OF
the body, if we by hearty meal give
the stomach five hours work, which in
its weak state requires a much longer
time to perform than at an earlier
hour of the day, it is like i'm.
posing upon servant full day
work just at the close of a hard days
labor. Hence the unwisdom of eat.
ing heartily late in the day or evening"
and no wonder it has cost many man
his life. Always breakfast before work
or exercise. Nolaborers or active per-
sons should eat an atom later than sun
down, and then it should not be oyel
half the midday meal. Persons o
sedentary habits, or who are at all all
ing, should take absolutely nothing fol
supper beyond single piece Of COLI
stale bread and butter, or q ship-biscui
with single cup of warm drink. Sucl
supper will always give better sleel
and prepare for heartier breakfast
with the advantage of having the ex
ercise of the whole day to grind it VI
and extract its nutriment. Never ca

entered an Austin restaurant and, TAX

fronted by waiter, to whom he conn

soon before him, smoking hot, and as
the waiter was about to withdraw, the
stranger said:

this coffee.

with the apron and napkin over his

Gagged BIRDS.
The Abundance Of Maladies to which
Over-Eating Makes Thorn Liable.

The Abundance Of Maladies to Which
Over-Eating Makes Thorn Liable.
The melancholy part of the study Of
Gagged birds is the abundance Of dis.
eases to which they are liable. Els.
pecially during the winter and the early
spring the pathetic little captives are
apt to suffer and die in way which
makes the very fact of their captivity
reproach. After examining the grisly
catalogue Of their complaints, we have
come to the conclusion that the ex-
cessive dullness of their life in cages
drives them to the only indulgence
which is possible to them, that of over
eating themselves. The excited bird
which falls from its perch, in the mid
die Of q burst of song, smitten with
apoplexy; the hot and lumpy bird
which is victim to hepatitis; the cor
pulent bird whose figure no dandelion
leaves Of Epson salts will reduce; the
epileptic bird that drags on existence
by slipping tincture of lobelia and drops
Of caster oil, all these melancholy in-
valids would have escaped their sad
condition if they could have resisted
the tempting hemp-seed and the lus-
cious milksop. But how are they to
drag life through their long monoto-
nous days3 In the utter insipidity Of
aviary existence the open and mex
haustible box Of food decoys them like
a vice, and they succumb to tempta-
ton, as Nine. Bovary did, from sheer
unmitigated ennui Sometimes, in the
later stages of decline, all reticence is
thrown aside, and the unfortunate
songster sits all day long at the feed
ing trough, Smelling and throwing
aside the food that it positively can not
swallow, and yet must be handling.
In these sad cases live spider is some
times found beneficial, as for hysterical
human patients the family doctor may
recommend q pantomime or a fancy
ball. We can not but think that more
study might with advantage be given
to the question Of Gagged birds, since
this seems to be the difficulty upon
which their management always strikes.
It is curious that bird fanciers persist
in feeding their charges with hemp
seed, probably because the irresponsi
bic little wretches gobble it up with Sc
much greediness. But this is no more
a reason for giving it to them than tn
fact that children like macaroon
would be reason for feeding ther
daily upon this indigestible dainty
Birds require at least as much care a
children in selecting for them, nc
what they prefer, but what is best

Senator did not say one word of the
kind ascribed to him. He paid his
respects to the President, as one man
to another. The incident Of his visit
was accepted as sufficient basis on
which to erect the superstructure Of
mendacity that he had called the
President to accosnt. Newspapers
have created an opinion for themselves
in the minds of the President and the
Senator by that performance.-George

THE MEpICAL CONGRESS,

On Monday, Sept. 5, there will as
Semble in Washington one of the most
notable bodies of men ever gathered to-
gether in this country. 1t will be an
assembly of the most distinguished ply
sicians in the world, delegates to the
ninth International Medical Congress,
and it is expected that 5000 persons will
be present.
Every city of prominence in this coun-
try will be represented, and every for
eign nation will send numerous dele
gates. In every respect it will be the
most important convention of the kind
ever held. The growth of medical
knowledge has more than kept pace
with the progress in other branches of
learning, and it will be at this congress
that the specialists who have achieved
deserved prominence will unfold to
their brethren detailed information re-
gardmg their researches.
Doubtless much will be added to the
already copiouS stores of the trained
physicians knowledge, and the doctors
from other lands will discover that their
American brethren are as capable of
imparting as receiving information. The
suppression of disease and the alleyia-
ton of pain constitutes the noblest pro-
fession in which man can engage, and
even the laity can not fail to regard with
interest a gathering of men every one
of whom has consecrated his life to that
purpose, and many of whom have won
distinction.
The selection of Washington as the
meeting place was a compliment well
deserved. and in his address of welcome
Secretary BAYARD will doubtless indi-
cate that fact. Both st. Paul and Min
neapOlis will be represented in the con-
gress, and it is a gratifying fact that
their delegates will compare favorably
with any from the West entitled to sit
in the convention.
